Indonesia

Makassar, capital of South Sulawesi

Indonesia has made remarkable development strides in the 21st century, including sustained economic growth and significant reductions in poverty.

An upper middle-income country, Indonesia aspires to be a high-income country by 2045, while avoiding the middle-income trap. The country’s progress is, however, at risk of reversal because of the impacts of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on lives and livelihoods. Public health measures and expanded social and economic assistance are among the near-term priorities.

Then, as part of a sustainable economic recovery, Indonesia must overcome its longstanding development challenges, including developing human capital, boosting competitiveness, managing climate change and disaster risks, and achieving environmental sustainability.

In Indonesia, BIMP-EAGA covers the provinces of Kalimantan, Sulawesi, the island chain of Maluku, and Papua.

West Kalimantan is part of the West Borneo Economic Corridor (WBEC), which also includes Brunei Darussalam and Sarawak and Sabah in Malaysia.

North Sulawesi is part of the Greater Sulu–Sulawesi Corridor (GSSC), which also includes Sabah in Malaysia, and Mindanao and Palawan in the Philippines.
